I disagree.
1) It's been gone a long time and many versions have changed since. 
Showing changes from back then to now has no value.
2) Repocopy makes sense to me ONCE, when creating a new port.  After the 
port is created, don't use it within a port.  I don't see people doing 
this and I'm glad about that.  If we said it's okay returning pkg-plist, 
then you can claim it's okay for returning patch files, which is absurd.
